MAGICIAN LORD!!!!!!!! How I long to play you on Virtual Console! When is Nintendo going to release US plans for Neo Geo VC games? Whatever the price I'll pay. World Heroes would be great too.

I guess I should be patient though as these look to be the first Neo Geo games to hit the VC in Japan.

What is Magician Lord?

...Magician Lord doesn't look terribly exciting to me. Then again, most Mega Man or Double Dragon-esque games are boring to watch but (can be) fun to play. (Note that I also didn't enjoy Mega Man Anniversary Collection when I checked that out....)

Pfft, watch a Megaman TAS and interesting gains a whole new definition. Megaman isn't a household robot, he's a ninja busy flipping out and killing people!

That's too bad, I've almost always enjoyed Mega Man. I have to say, I thought Mega Man, too, but then I realized it was more in line with Ghouls and Ghosts. Or Ghosts and Goblins. You choose.

Magician Lord definitely is fun to play. It's been awhile though it was pretty sweet for its time. It is kind of simple but I'd love to download this one on VC. Here's hoping Nintendo eventually chooses to support Neo Geo downloads for Wii worldwide--even if they're a little pricier.
